Testing the flow rate

This test is to measure the flow rate in the Z310 (DESIGNmate Mx). It should be used as a diagnostic

tool to determine if the Print Head is receiving enough binder. Not enough binder flow can causeError1006. The most common causes (out of binder, bad print head, air in fluid line, clogged binder capetc..), should be explored first. The flow rate test is designed to test whether the system may have akinked or blocked fluid line, or a clogged binder filter.

There are many ways to measure a flow rate and every way can result in different values. It is VERYIMPORTANTto follow this procedure closely otherwise the flow rate numbers will not match correctly.

Prerequisite:

There must be some binder in the binder bottle

Test Procedure:

1. SET UP: From ZPrint, choose Unparkfrom the service menu (this will move the carriage awayfrom the service station, and prevent it from auto parking when you close the top cover.

IF YOU DONT HAVE ACCESS TO ZPRINT OR COMMUNICATION WITH THE PRINTER:The safest option is to power down the printer and manually move the carriage to the front,right side of the deck.

2. CHECK: Make sure there is some binder in the bottle.3. INSERT: Clamp the test tubing near the bottom and insert the fitting onto the septum4. PRIME LINE: Carefully open the clamp to allow the test tubing to fill with binder5. Dangle the tubing (still clamped) outside of the machine; using a shim (syringe plunger) close

the cover making sure the seal doesnt compress the testing tube.6. Hold the tubing so the middle of the syringe is approximately the level of the deck (down far

enough that all the slack is taken out of the tubing)

7. TEST: Release the clamp and let the binder drip into the collection syringe. Re-clamp the tubeat 30 SECONDS.

8. Record and compare the amount of binder collected in the syringe (reading ml) to the chart.

The flow rate test is designed to test whether the system may have a kinked orblocked fluid line, or a clogged binder filter. If you find a restriction in the flowand feel that it may be caused by bacteria build-up in the fluid line or filter, itwill be necessary to follow the clean out procedure 08799 to make sure thebacteria is bleached before returning the machine to operation.

9. Press OK to re-park the carriage.
